## Summary

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for education travel between Onehouse and Newmarket and InToto Education in Fordham, near Ely, Cambridgeshire. The requirement was for a four-seater vehicle with a passenger assistant, supporting the transport of learners to and from the education setting. The work falls within transport services, rather than vehicle supply alone, so relevant businesses would need to provide the vehicle, drivers and passenger-assistance service as an integrated operation. The named buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, Suffolk. The procurement was arranged as a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Easy Cabs East Anglia Limited was selected on 21 August 2026 for £198,550 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, and the council reserved the right to extend it until 31 July 2031. The original submission deadline was 09:00 on 21 August 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 17 August 2026. It was a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System, with transport services as the main category. The tender allowed for a four-seater vehicle and passenger assistant for the specified education route. The contract is recorded as complete and the award as active.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for regular, small-capacity education transport rather than general taxi work: a four-seater vehicle, reliable route operation and a passenger assistant are central to the service. A credible future supplier would need dependable local coverage around Onehouse, Newmarket, Fordham and Ely, suitable vehicles, appropriately experienced drivers and staff able to provide passenger assistance. Operational resilience matters because the service connects learners with an education setting over a multi-year period. The buyer used its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so businesses seeking similar work should be capable of operating through that procurement route and meeting its qualification requirements. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
